Wait...you were serious?
The Astros(right or wrong) think they can win, and they also think they have a shot at getting Roger Clemens. Neither of those things will be possible if they trade Andy Pettitte. A bad start to their season probably wouldn't cause too much alarm, given the huge comebacks the team has made in each of the last two years.
Even if they did put Pettitte on the market, the Yankees don't have an abundance of valuable trade chips.
I'd say the chances of Pettitte wearing pinstripes this year are very slim. Infact, considering how eager Andy was to come home to Houston, as well as the amount of success he's had there, he's not a sure bet to leave at any point.
